A woman heard on a message machine uttering a racist comment in the background of a phone call being made is causing a ruckus.

According to a story on nj.com: The woman, Marie Strumolo Burke, is presently a member of the town council and will be running for mayor in this June’s election.

It turns out that a Michigan forensics lab has authenticated that the voice heard in the background is actually that of Strumolo Burke, however they can’t be fully certain until she herself provides the lab with a sample of her voice.
